Both the RSD and this re-reissue are put out by Get On Down records. They really should have done a 2LP reissue as others are saying and I'd expect the sound quality to be the same since they no doubt used the same lacquers.

The RSD is limited to 1000 copies worldwide but they are not numbered so who really knows. If discogs shows another reissue eventually from Get On Down with different catalog numbers I wouldn't exactly consider it a noteworthy difference to have one over the other. So many times people rush out to get RSD records and along comes that record a month or 2 later from the same or a different label and it's just another example of a "limited" as a hype word value only record company tactic. I'm not mad at it, they cost about the same but it certainly undermines the yearly rush to wait in line at 8 AM on a Saturday for something you expect only 1000 worldwide copies are available. I'd be mad as hell if this was a 2LP better copy and I stood in line for the 1LP that cost more (punishing fans) but that's not the case.

Received the RSD pressing from HHV, side A played onto side B now and the pressing is fine, considering how many tracks are on each side its surprising it sounds this good.
As for the music, this is my first time hearing the album properly as Id heard the odd track here and there and flicked though the soundclips before ordering and the album is fucking great!
